Pieces of me still standing

#summerbod #bodytransformation #embracevulnerability #lemon8bookclub #beautyfinds

2025/7/30 Edited to

Body transformation journeys are deeply personal and often involve both physical and emotional growth. Embracing vulnerability allows individuals to connect authentically with their experiences, promoting mental wellness alongside physical changes. Achieving a "summer bod" isn't just about aesthetics; it's about cultivating self-love and confidence that endure beyond appearance changes. The hashtag #embracevulnerability highlights the importance of being open to challenges and setbacks during transformation, fostering resilience. Incorporating supportive communities, such as those found in online book clubs or beauty forums (e.g., #lemon8bookclub, #beautyfinds), can provide motivation, helpful tips, and shared stories that enrich the transformation process. These communities celebrate authenticity and encourage users to share real, unfiltered experiences, which enhances personal growth and collective empathy. For those on a body transformation path, focusing on balanced nutrition, consistent exercise tailored to individual needs, and mental health care are crucial elements. Additionally, embracing imperfections and understanding that progress is not always linear helps maintain a positive mindset. Tools like tracking progress, setting realistic goals, and celebrating small victories can support sustained motivation. Ultimately, "Pieces of me still standing" symbolizes the strength found in perseverance and self-compassion. It reminds us that transformation is not solely about changing the body but about reinforcing the spirit and embracing one's unique journey.

“Still standing 🤍”

Some days I feel unstoppable… other days I’m just trying to survive mentally while still showing up. But one thing about me? I’m gonna keep going regardless. Healing, hustling, and rebuilding myself one day at a time. 🤍 #HealingJourney #MotivationDaily #SelfGrowth #ComebackSeason #Built

A notebook page with text stating God is near in a real way, followed by 'LET THESE WORDS SINK IN' and bullet points about not needing to be strong or have all the answers, and two Bible verses.

Sis, the enemy wants you to believe you’re doing everything wrong. But the truth is: you’re doing holy work in hard places. Every time you get up when you don’t feel like it… Every time you pray through pain… Every time you give when you’re empty… Every time you wipe tears (yours or someone

Grief changed me, and I’m still meeting myself

The holidays feel different now. Louder in some ways. Quieter in others. Every ornament, every song, every tradition seems to echo what’s missing. Grief doesn’t look like constant tears anymore. Sometimes it looks like standing in the kitchen, realizing I don’t know who I am without my mom her

Dear Me, I know you’re tired. Not the kind of tired sleep fixes… the kind that settles deep in your chest, where hope has had to fight just to stay alive. But listen to me— you are not fragile just because you feel deeply. You are not weak because you’ve been hurt. You are not broken becaus

You’re Still Here Because God Isn’t Finished🍋✨

You’re Still Here Because God Isn’t Finished Philippians 1:6 “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” You’ve had moments when you questioned everything. When the pain felt unbearable. When your prayers seemed to bounce off the ceiling.

If They Leave… You’re Still Standing

People leaving isn’t the problem. Building your whole life on someone who can leave — that’s the problem. When your life is built around YOU, their absence won’t destroy you. It’ll hurt. You’ll rebuild. But you won’t be lost — because you never stopped living for yourself. #marloskno

Still Standing… Barely

A year ago, a tree came crashing down—and nothing’s been the same since. The camp’s still here, but the laughter’s gone. No repairs. No weekends. Just peeling paint, broken boards, and the slow grip of the river creeping in. Forgotten, but not quite gone. #HiddenGems #ExploringAbandoned #Rur

Old pieces I still wear

How long do you keep your items? 👜 Coach bag - one of the first ones I bought myself. I have had it for 15ish years. 👗 My poofy little dress is my newest old piece lol. I found this at Marshall’s about 2 years ago. 👠 My pink heels are from JustFab and I’ve had them for about 5-6 years.

Stitched in Gold. Still Soft. Still Standing.

I used to hide the parts of me that felt broken. The chapters that left bruises. The memories I thought made me less worthy. But I see it now… The pain didn’t dim me — it carved out space for more light. Every scar taught me something softness never could. And now? I don’t just shine. I rad

Still, Somehow, a Rose

I feel as if I am a rose without petals bare, aching, exposed to every passing wind, with nothing left to soften my heart. I am undone by what I must now be how to carry a love with nowhere to go, how do I exist in a life that no longer holds you. All I know now is that I am still
